The Hornady American Whitetail 30-06 Springfield 150-grain InterLock Spire Point delivers consistent terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This factory ammunition combines proven bullet technology with optimized powder charges to maximize accuracy and stopping power across hunting distances.
What Makes This Different
The InterLock bullet design mechanically locks the core and jacket together during expansion, preventing separation that causes other bullets to lose mass and penetration. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that can fragment on impact, the InterLock maintains 90-95% weight retention. The spire point profile provides a ballistic coefficient of .408, delivering flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift compared to round nose alternatives.

Field testing shows this load achieves 2910 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels with 2820 ft-lbs of energy. The 150-grain weight provides excellent penetration on whitetail, mule deer, and similar-sized game while maintaining manageable recoil. Weather-resistant primer sealant and case mouth sealant protect against moisture during extended hunting seasons.
